Reunion

After several days of rain, a recent break in the showers was a good reason for Franny, Cole, and I to take a late morning, neighborhood walk.  There are some very steep hills surrounding us, but both kids did a great job, and had a lot of fun.  We kept our pace to a slow and steady 'Cole speed', which left plenty of time for exploring and stopping to see and touch anything that caught the eye.   Halfway through our walk, Franny requested that we visit one of their favorite friends, Tigger the Cat.  Tigger was the destination for nearly daily walks the kids took with their daddy during the summer.  He is a very sweet and patient cat, and always will come out to greet them if he is outside.  And, I was very happy he was outside, as Franny's request took us to the opposite end of the neighborhood where we were walking.  But, it was well worth it--both for the walk in the crisp fresh air, and for seeing their sweet reunion with their old friend.
